Jill McCabe , LMHC

Jill McCabe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 25 years of experience. She works in a warm, interactive way and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use right away. Many clients come to her for anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and coping with life transitions.

She helps people manage stress, sleep problems, and substance misuse, and offers support around grief and trauma. Jill also assists those facing career crossroads, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to issues tied to adoption, attachment, blended families, and caregiving stress.

Jill blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She draws on existential and Jungian ideas too, using these to help clients understand meaning, values, and personal patterns. Sessions focus on practical tools and clearer thinking alongside self-reflection.

Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental. She avoids labeling and works to tailor each plan to what the person needs. Conversations often include goal-setting, skills practice, and checking what is actually helping in daily life.

Jill offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She speaks English and practices from New York. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people to a fitting plan and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jill uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's concerns and goals, which helps when someone needs emotional support or decision-making space. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and respond more calmly. These approaches are chosen collaboratively. Jill will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Finding the right approach is part of the work together and can be adjusted over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity during life changes.
